Break away from the norm and dash up that tempting trail in the Nike Juniper Trail 2. Durable material on top and tough traction on the bottom give you a consistent, confident ride for those off-road runs calling your name. It's built for earthy terrain and unbeaten paths, with reliable traction that'll help keep you on course.
Mixed Materials Upper
The upper of the Juniper Trail 2 has been made with a mix of materials for ultimate performance. Mesh covers the majority of the foot, providing a highly ventilated environment for your feet, allowing hot air and vapour to escape and allowing fresh air to flow in for a pleasant cooling sensation. Synthetic leather and engineered textiles up the durability of the shoe, providing protection to your feet and the shoe itself from loose rocks and debris on the trail. The shoes have pull loops at the back to provide assistance with putting the shoes on and taking them off. Flywire cables integrate with the laces for a secure feel, locking down the midfoot for greater stability and control, while the inner sleeve wraps your midfoot for a comfortable, sock-like fit.
Cushioned Full-Length Midsole
A full-length platform of cushioning resides underfoot to deliver feathery durability plus smooth responsiveness. The reactive nature of this midsole material means it absorbs impact and then expels it back out for a bounce-like effect. This energy-return technology reduces the use of superfluous muscle power, diminishing fatigue and enhancing performance, keeping you going for longer. Soft, generous and substantial, the midsole will spare your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving concrete and infuse every stride with the kind of zealous power that is often elusive in the running world. Under the heel there is extra cushioning to supply your stride with extra bounce; it combines pressurised air with internal fibres to deliver responsive cushioning that springs back fast, so you can move faster. Embedded within the midsole, a rock plate helps to protect your feet against rocks and stone bruises, letting you run with confidence over awkward terrain.
Nike Grind Outsole
The outsole of the Juniper Trail 2 is made from ultra-durable rubber for maximum control. See the speckles on the outsole? That means it's made with at least 8% Nike Grind material, made from scraps from the footwear manufacturing process. This means that this shoe is good for your run and good for the planet. The rubber is hard-wearing and resists damage, whilst the tapered lugs provide great multidirectional traction, helping you run efficiently up and downhill and tackling rocky trails with no issue.
